REAL LIFE. REAL TRAFFIC. REAL GREEN.
"ECOBEST Challenge is the first European independent test on the most popular EV’s on sale in Europe. The testing methodology is consistent and unbiased, pioneering the `human random factor`, the closest concept to the ideal `average customer`! AUTOBEST introduced a number of proprietary indexes, easy to be understood by all the consumers around the world. It is about real range, real charging process both AC and DC , about energy efficiency spent on board and `life after death` of the battery indicating ZERO on the cluster. All the results are introduced without any ranking or comments. Our mission is to serve the millions of motorists looking to see facts and figures, real measurements coming from real driving habits, real traffic testing. ”Dan Vardie- Creator of ECOBEST Challenge

With the aim of informing, guiding and advising European car users about the true efficiency and use of the latest pure electric cars, the AUTOBEST international independent organization has performed in June 2024 a new edition of its ECOBEST Challenge.13 new cars from 13 different manufacturers were evaluated under true real life, real traffic, similar and reproductible conditions and went through 7 different kinds of tests which results are of the highest interest for users of electric vehicles.
With ECOBEST Challenge, our organization is making one bolder step to serve the European motorists, delivering key information about the real range, energy efficiency and more about the most popular EV’s on the market. Our aim is to offer an independent test, where all the cars are driven in the same time, on the same route by different drivers, coming this year from 13 countries.
In 2009 AUTOBEST launched ECOBEST Challenge project, as a world’s first project for measurements of consumption, CO2 emissions, pollutants and micro particles. ECOBEST Challenge was launched years before Diesel gate scandal, with the aim to give consumer real data in real life traffic.
